She was forced into sex work after being picked up at Luton Airport. A young woman who was sex trafficked by two brothers was forced to work the streets of north London, when she became pregnant. The year-old victim, from Romania , was duped into coming to the UK to work in a factory.
An airline ticket was purchased for her and on Sunday, April 7 she arrived at Luton Airport. She was collected from the airport by the two brothers and was taken to a house in Plumstead, where there were two other Romania females. Her travel documents were taken from her. On the evening of her arrival she was told to get ready as they were going out to work.
Here she was handed a small bag of wipes and condoms and told she was working the streets. The victim told the men she had never done this type of work before, she was told she would learn. Through the fear of violence and the control the brothers had on her she continued working on the street as a sex worker.
She was regularly beaten and abused by her captors, once with a stick on the back of her legs. She was never allowed to leave the house on her own and always had someone with her. This was the result a forced attempted abortion. It was around this time that a client asked her if she was in touch with her family in Romania.
She told him a few or the awful things that had happened to her. A week later, the unknown man, came to see her again and gave her a small mobile phone which she hid. She managed to get in contact with her family in Romania without her captors knowledge and told her family of her situation in the UK.
